Anyone know what incident this is? Found it on a youtube search but the video has been deleted.
And where is this bridge of death anyways? Just want to stay clear of it.

Scary bridge for sure! Anyone jumped it, or is it just the cliff right next to it beeing jumped?
Luckily I got a serious respons by pm.
I was just asking as this video on youtube was uploaded two days ago, and have not seen anything in the incidents forum.
But it seems this was an old incident, if I get it correct?

The like shows it was from Idaho, but we have not heard anything for the BASE Fatality List.
Most likely you are seeing a YouTube bot re-posting a video to get higher video hits.
Re: [mickknutson] Whats this?
I believe this has been recycled several times. If I am correct as to which video this is, it was a non-injury accident. Still, the video has been re-posted in several places as "crazy BASE jumping death video" or some similar attention grabbing title. I was present when it happened. The jumper performed a tard-over in a tailwind and the canopy was wrapped around him, resulting in a fast streamer with partial opening low and a moderate speed impact in the water. He was bruised up a bit, but hiked out and went on with his day.
Obviously it's hard to say for sure without seeing the video, but that one has been re-re-re-posted, and I expect this is just it's latest incarnation.
